I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 65: Literary Circle of Friends

The four of them were not in a hurry to leave. It was still early, so they had plenty of time to chat after dinner.

The purpose of today's meal is to communicate with Chen Suna and enhance their relationship.

The four of them had a pleasant chat. Just as they were about to leave, Chen Suna's phone rang. It was the familiar WeChat video call reminder tone.

Chen Suna picked it up and took a look, hesitant to answer it: "My mother."

"It's okay, it's okay, just answer it."

Chen Suna pressed the answer button, then stretched out her right arm and raised the phone forward, making a standard video call gesture.

It was quite noisy around them, but they could still hear Mandarin with a Yuzhou dialect coming from the phone.

"Niuniu, have you eaten yet?"

"Just finished eating. I ate out with some friends today."

"Oh, what are you eating? Let mom take a look."

Chen Suna tilted the phone down to make sure that when the camera was turned around, it would not capture Su Cheng and the others' faces.

"How many of you are there? Is this your new friend?"

"Yeah, there are four of us including me."

"Oh, when are you coming home?"

"I've finished eating. I'll be back now."

"Mom, I won't talk to you for now. We're leaving now. I'll call you back when we get back."

Chen Suna hung up the video call in a hurry.

Su Cheng couldn't help but laugh: "Pfft, you died so quickly."

"Uh... If I don't hang up quickly, she will definitely make me spin around and look at your faces. That's too offensive." Chen Suna explained herself a little embarrassedly.

Chen Suna also considered this aspect, and the three of them thought it was a good thing. Her behavior was a big plus for making friends!
It is normal for a girl to have her mother call her at night to check on her.

Chen Suna gave Su Cheng the feeling that she had very strict family education. If she were working in her hometown, she would have to use a card to enter the house at night.

It can be heard from the tone of Chen Suna's mother's voice that she loves her daughter very much. She calls her every day to ask if she has eaten even though they are a thousand kilometers apart.

In addition to Su Cheng, Ye Li and Qin Fen also laughed.

Ye Li reminded her warmly: "It's okay, just talk to mom for a few more words."

Chen Suna said shyly, "Let's call her again when we get home. I feel a little embarrassed to video call my mom right now."

"Hahahahaha."

The meal is over.

Ye Li drove Chen Suna to the hotel where she was staying first, and then drove Su Cheng and Qin Fen to the subway station. Taking the subway was closer and faster for them.

After Su Cheng returned home, he simply washed up and then lay down on the bed.

I received a message from Chen Suna on my phone.

Chen Suna: [Hello, fellow countryman]
Su Cheng couldn't help but be amused by her. This sentence was quite playful. He quite liked girls with Chen Suna's personality.

Su Cheng replied: [Hello fellow countryman]
Chen Suna quickly replied: [My friend, have you arrived home yet?]
Su Cheng: [I’m home, I’m home. I just finished washing up and lying down. Have you finished your video call with Mom?]
Chen Suna: [I called her, but she's already asleep]
Su Cheng: [Yeah, don’t let mom worry]
Chen Suna: [Of course!]
Su Cheng sent her an emoticon in return, then clicked on Chen Suna's circle of friends.

Her circle of friends was still visible for three days in the afternoon, and it was blank with nothing in it.

But at night it becomes visible for half a year.

Su Cheng couldn't help but be curious: Hmm?

Is it open for them to watch?
This kind of thinking is actually very normal. When you meet new friends, of course you should show your past so that new friends can get to know you better.

In fact, the ones who do this most often are some sea kings and sea queens.

But Chen Suna is not that kind of person. She even added Ye Li and Qin Fen to her hot pot dinner just now.

So Su Cheng regarded this behavior as a friendly signal.

Chen Suna’s circle of friends is not very exquisite, because there is not a single selfie, it is basically just daily life.

The photos shared are of the sky, birds, roadside trees, and fallen leaves on the street.

There was no deliberate lighting, no careful angle selection or composition, these were just candid photos taken casually and then shared.

Chen Suna used an iPhone, but she didn't use the dynamic mode, so the photos were fixed. As for the copy, it wasn't the kind of short video style "disappointment" that you see, but mostly a short sentence, sometimes with just an emoji.

The two didn't chat for long because they had to get to the company early because they had a morning meeting the next day.

The two sides chatted casually for a few minutes, such as renting a house, nearby subway stations, etc., and then went to bed early.

Early the next morning.

Su Cheng's biological clock made him wake up naturally.

Su Cheng didn't get up immediately, but was guessing what time it was.

"The alarm didn't go off, so it must have been before 7:30."

"It should be around 7:15?"

I took out my phone and saw that it was only 6:55.

"Damn, I guessed wrong."

Su Cheng didn't continue to sleep, but got up directly to wash and change clothes.

After going out, I bought a pack of Furong King at my dad’s convenience store downstairs.

The boss also gently asked Su Cheng: "Hey, young man, why did you smoke Furong King today? Isn't it usually Hongtashan?"

Su Cheng hummed: "I want to taste what Hibiscus King tastes like."

"Ouch, 25."

Su Cheng put the cigarette in his pocket and went to the breakfast stall next to him.

The two stores were next to each other, and if he guessed correctly, the owners of both stores were his father's plainclothes officers.

Logically speaking, even if it's just surveillance, one or two plainclothes officers are enough for one store.

Why two stores?
Because this egg-filled pancake is really delicious!
Su Cheng remembered this taste when he was a child in his hometown and has been eating it since he was a child.

It is not the kind of quick-frozen semi-finished product. The dough is rolled out freshly, then fried in a pan, the eggs are poured in, and then the pan is pushed away and placed on the stove below to bake.

"Boss, one egg-filled pancake with two eggs."

The boss still asked Su Cheng gently: "Young man, why do you add eggs today? And two eggs."

“Your food is so delicious!”

"Haha, thank you for the compliment, young man. These two eggs are for you today."

The boss started making eggs for Su Cheng first. He turned around and took two eggs from the extra basket.
At this time, a fat, middle-aged man next to him noticed something was wrong: "Boss, why did you beat eggs for me from the big basket, and beat eggs for him from the small basket in the back? Is there any difference?"

The boss glanced at the middle-aged man and said nothing.

Of course it’s different!
The big basket contains ordinary eggs, which were brought from the vegetable market.

The small basket contains free-range eggs, which are directly shipped by plane.

So of course it's different.

"There's no difference. They're all the same eggs."

The middle-aged man didn't believe it: "Boss, can you make a new one for me? I want that small basket of eggs too."

"I've already done it. Don't worry, I'll do it again for you. It will be the same."

"You can just put the basket in front of you and sell it as ready-made. Customers behind you don't have to wait."

The boss is not a businessman to begin with. This shop was opened by General Manager Su for the young master. Who does he think he is?
"Are you going to buy it or not? If not, leave."

"Hey, what's with your attitude? I've never seen business done this way!"

Su Cheng listened quietly to the two people arguing. Although he remained silent on the surface, Su Cheng found it quite interesting.

At this moment, the boss must be thinking, he is arguing with a customer in front of him, this small vendor is too real, right?

Su Cheng didn't listen any further. He took the egg-filled pancake and soy milk and left.

He ate and drank on the way to the subway station, and by the time he arrived at the subway station entrance, he had finished eating.

Su Cheng stood at the entrance and didn't rush in. Instead, he smoked his morning cigarette, threw the cigarette butt into the trash can, drank the last sip of soy milk, and then entered the subway entrance.
